tommarker Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 On a related note... If you're thinking of using "everybody was Kung Fu fiiiightiiiing..." IT'S BEEN DONE! I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
monkeygirl Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Yeah we use that too...I do a kata to that song. But it gets such a good reaction from the crowds when they hear it! I guess they just don't really expect to see a humorous twist like that. You can definitely tell the age group of your audience...the 30-somethings nod and laugh. Some of the people who were watching oh-so-seriously will begin to smile and really have fun with it. Sometimes the rest of the demo team will sing along...which can really screw me up! Thankfully they only really do that in practice 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
BKJ1216 Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Uhh somethign that gets your energy moving, is fast paced, and easy to follow up with the techniques. White Belt- Shudokan Karate
SaiFightsMS Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Don't use Cotton eye Joe either. I saw a form done to that once and it was just plain silly.
King of Fighters Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 how about forgot about dre by dr dre featuring eminem, its got a great beat and its really phat.
ninjanurse Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 If you're looking for something different try Titanic theme song (or other such style). Musical Kata doesn't always have to be fast and loud.

Kyle-san Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 I've honestly never seen kata done to music outside of certain televised Karate tournaments.
Withers M.A.A. Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 If you're doing an open form then you want something fast. Usually techno or dance music is best. Louie Devito dance CD has some good stuff on it. 2nd Degree black belt in Kenpo Karate and Tae Kwon Do. 1997 NASKA competitor-2nd place Nationally in Blackbelt American Forms. Firearms activist!
Shogun Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Wow Kyle-san, i always see katas and forms done to music. my school is having a tounrnament soon with a musical kata division. everyone likes them! Man to man, Soldier to soldier, Dust to dust.
blitzcraig Posted May 1, 2003 Author Posted May 1, 2003 Huh, I dunno, Its gonna be awile so....i'll have time to listen and choose. I was thinkin maybe like a bluegrass song would be hilarious and fast tempo. #1"The road to tae kwan leep is an endless road leading into the herizon, you must fully understand its ways". #2"but i wanna wax the walls with people now" #1"come ed gruberman, your first lesson is here.....boot to the head" #2"ouch, you kicked me in the head", #1"you learn quickly ed gruberman"
